The Wasp — 1890 — page 360: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **society gossip and political commentary** rather than a cartoon-focused issue. The main illustration depicts two men on a bench in conversation—likely representing a General discussing political matters with a caller, based on the surrounding text about Gen. W.S. Rosecrans and various political figures. The text references Republican State Convention politics, mentions "Binger Hermann" as a candidate for representation, and discusses congressional election dynamics in Oregon. The content satirizes political maneuvering and social climbing among Washington D.C. elites, including commentary on the White House social season. The page also includes society notices about receptions and gatherings, mixing political satire with high-society gossip typical of The Wasp's editorial approach.
